The man and the woman kiss and say “hello.”

Then, she raises her head because a woman on the outside is looking at her. The woman says hello. The woman is wearing a dress and stockings.

It continues to rain. She can hear the sound of the train and remembers her mother’s voice. She also remembers a picnic one afternoon some time ago. Later, she finishes up her tea and it’s time to take the train.

As you probably know if you are a regular follower of this blog (CLICK HERE), some of my 1st ESO D students are going to be models on the catwalk (the others are going to describe what their classmates are wearing). We have already learnt vocabulary and the present continuous ("he/she IS WEARING"). Below you have what the "speakers" have written to describe what their classmates are going to wear. I have recorded their texts so that my 1st ESO D "speakers" can listen to them and practise the pronunciation. Soon the video on this blog!!!!!!
